Not being able to drive!
It really is driving me crazy. You never know how much you enjoy being able to get in your car and go until you can't! Grrrrr! First of all I didn't lose my license in a "legal" way. It is more in a "medical" way. In December 09 I started having seizures. The first one cause me to fall out of my chair and bang my head on my desk on the way down. Let's just say I had a huge egg on my head for a few days. After that I had at least 7 or 8 more, one being on Christmas..... What a wonderful Christmas day eh? I had a MRI, sleep deprived EEG, blood work, etc. The neurologist could not find a cause. No diagnosis at all, it is a mystery. But one thing is: After a seizure you are not supposed to drive for 6 months. It is a trust thing you have to agree to. They also can "legally" take away your license if you continue to have seizures and drive. They prescribed Lamictal 100 mg 2x a day. It makes me feel sick for an hour after I take it. I got brave and quit my medicine and I hadn't had a seizure for 4 months and on April 24, 2010 BAM another one. This was 4 days after I quit the meds. So I guess I am stuck taking them from now on. Oh and I can't drive until October now...6 months after this recent seizure.
